Social Security changes in proposed pension bill details

The plan would extend survivor benefits to some 22 year olds in school, raise the payroll tax from 3.625% to 3.8% in 1965 with a 1971 schedule, treat tips as pension income, and allow widows to retire at 60 with lower benefits. It projects a $1 billion rise in benefits, against an existing $17 billion payout.
